It would indeed but I expect they'd loose interest when they saw the ugly great thing......the bike not the ahem.....well you know
My day... I was supposed to be off to Madrid for 3 days to sit down with my big customer and the projects I'm running.. 1. Up early to get to the station - Crewe, roads were ok fresh snow on the back route but got there with plenty of time, other half dropped me off 2. Train to Euston delayed by 10 mins, several others cancelled so was lucky mine wasn't, platform changes galore but I'm away 3. I had planned another meeting in the office in London with a colleague before my flight but the train grinds to a halt twice, 70 minute delay due to snow/broken down trains and I cancel my London meeting as I'd been checking gatwick bound trains en route 4. Euston to Victoria no problem, buy gatwick express tickets and jump on the train... 5. 20 mins go by and train cancelled... Back into the station where no one knows anything 6. Ushered onto a gatwick bound train, sit there for another 20 mins before I'm told the driver has gone AWOL.. 7. You guessed it, ushered onto the 3rd train... Rammed, standing room only and after a further 20 mins we're off 8. Gatwick, arrive and through security without any delays 9. Grab some lunch, log on and wait for the flight 10. Receive an email from a colleague in Madrid... Customer has cancelled the meetings! And there's two guys from the US just landed in Madrid.. Fuming I can tell you 11. Cancel hotel in Madrid, lose €148 there plus £200 on the flights 12. Miss train back to Victoria, wait and catch the next (phone the other half and update her) 13. Check train times back home, get back to Victoria then eventually euston 14. Spend another £100 and manage to get the 17:07 back home 15. Get picked up by other half and back home for 19:30
Just watched University Challenge, then rewound it and watched it again........................still couldn't get any of the questions right!!:biggrin:
Could you not do a video conference? We're not allowed to travel anywhere at the moment because of budgets, so we're all becoming experts at it.

Back at work after a fantastic long weekend in Cartagena. Nice to meet you Troy! (even if you did call me Char.... )
So far today I have been manning the office single handedly whilst everyone has gone snowboarding at Wessenden reservoir. And it's a bluebird day too :frown:
Oh bollox! I think I'd have been tempted to go anyway, have a cup of coffee, few beers and then come home the next day.
Just been to physio he used a giant vibrating pad then stuck 12 needles in my shoulders and connected me to a battery I am floating away now
